As night fell, the day was drawn into darkness, and the battlefield that had been stalemate for a whole day was loosened a little, and the Japanese cooked all their remaining food before nightfall, for which the 55th Division also contributed some of the mules and horses that died under the bombardment of field artillery. 30,000 Japanese soldiers swallowed the last food with tears, and then each found a place to close their eyes and rest to recuperate, and after the night swallowed up the last ray of light, the Japanese army began to quietly complete the assembly under the leadership of the officer.

Neither Mutaguchi nor Takeuchi Kan are Hanbao, they know that this is a life-and-death battle, and if they can't break through the passage to Lashio ahead, they will become pork on the chopping board for the thunder to chop and chop. The Thunder troops blocking their way don't have to shoot at all, as long as they hold their positions strictly, their 30,000 people will lose their combat effectiveness due to the lack of food, and the 30,000 Japanese troops will finally give Thunder for nothing because of hunger, which is the result that no one wants to see Taketaguchi Ryoya and Takeuchi Kan, so they choose to attack at night.

200 soldiers with victory belts on their heads stood at the front of the queue, these soldiers were specially selected daredevils, looking at these young faces, Mu Taguchi Lian also suddenly felt a little sad. Once upon a time, the tricks used by those Chinese troops after being beaten by the imperial army were also learned by the imperial troops, and the famous eighteenth division was actually reduced to the point of using death squads to open the way, which is really humiliating.

The sad Mutaguchi Ryoya spoke beautifully, but just waved his hand lightly, and the 200 daredevils rushed out and went straight to the slope that had caused them heavy losses during the day. In order to prevent the sound of the daredevils from revealing their targets, these selected daredevils did not carry any other iron weapons except grenades, explosives bags, and bayonets, and some of them even took off their military shoes and participated in the night attack barefoot.

The dark night is the best cover, and there are a large number of daredevils crawling on the silent open ground, and the Japanese army can't deal with the iron guys on the slope, so they have to pin their hopes on these daredevils. Since those iron guys can fire machine guns, then it must be hollow as a fortress, and if the fortress is a fortress, there must be passages or doors in and out, and the task of the death squad is to quietly touch the slopes, find the passages of those iron guys, and destroy them from the inside with grenades or explosives packs, opening the way for the troops to advance.

The death squads were expected to move slowly, and the whole night was enough time for them to climb over the short 1,500-meter open field, as long as they could smoothly touch the slopes and approach those strange iron guys, even if they could successfully touch the back of those iron guys to avoid the front machine gun port, then this sneak attack would be the prelude to the whole night raid with a victorious ending.

In order to prevent the opponent who was also hidden in the dark from discovering the actions of the death squad, Mutaguchi also ordered the more than 20,000 soldiers of the two divisions to act as usual, although the soldiers had been assembled according to their respective formations, they still had to make the same actions as they usually camped. Mutaguchi also hoped that this would temporarily confuse his opponent and provide assistance to the death squad's actions.

The situation didn't seem to be as dire as Mutaguchi feared, at least as the death squad didn't seem to be alert enough as they reached 500 meters from the slope. The success of the operation gave Captain Tsuneo Yokota, who commanded the death squad, full of confidence, and at this time it was only three hours after nightfall, and at least five or six hours before dawn, which was indeed enough time for their operation.

Corpses, still corpses, the daredevils who were lying on the ground and crawling slowly on their limbs had encountered corpses in a row, and the corpses that had stiffened and smelled of blood were all their companions, they were abandoned here during the day, and the enemy should have done this on purpose, they wanted these corpses to warn their opponents. Tsuyoko Yokota slowly turned over a corpse lying on his back with his face up, this Japanese soldier should have had his head smashed by a bullet, and the heavy smell of blood and the faint smell of corpses made Tsuyokota tears fall.

With a muffled cry, the entire death squad was like a turtle that had suddenly been frightened, and they all made the same movements as those corpses and did not dare to move, even if the opponent fired a flare to observe this side at this moment, they would at most see a large number of corpses wearing Japanese military uniforms, but the corpses at night seemed to be killed more than during the day. "Yaga, what's going on?" After a few minutes, Tsuyo Yokota lowered his voice and asked the snoring daredevil.

"There's a thorn on the ground, my palm is cut," the daredevil, who was asked by Tsuyo Yokota, replied in a whisper, and the two were communicating almost face to face, and Koo Yokota had already smelled the smell of blood coming from the death squad's injury. Tsugeo Yokota gestured, and the entire death squad continued to move forward, but the death squad who had just been cut by the thorn on the ground was getting slower and slower, and gradually fell to the back of the death squad. When Tsugeo Yokota asked him, he didn't tell the truth, the thorn didn't cut his palm, but pierced his palm directly, and he was afraid that he would be disqualified from participating in the death squad, so he told a lie.

The temperature at night in Myanmar, where the corpse can rot in three days, is not very low, but the death squad member who was pierced through the palm by a wooden thorn feels more and more chills on his body, especially the injured palm has gradually lost its intuition, and it seems to have begun to swell. Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the wooden thorn that was still nailed to the palm of his hand, but what happened next caused the Japanese daredevils to fall into a panic, as he crawled forward, his nose began to bleed, followed by ear bleeding, and before his fear was magnified to the extreme, he began to vomit blood after losing his last consciousness.

Tsuyo Yokota, who has been crawling at the forefront of the death squad, doesn't know all this, he just crawls slowly while carefully looking left and right at the movement, and if there is a slight abnormality, he will lie on the ground and pretend to be a corpse, and the other daredevils will naturally follow suit. After crossing the 400-meter range, more and more things angered Tsuneo Yokota, and half of the daredevils were already crying out in pain in the night, and the reason for the cry was none other than the reason for the daredevil's hand that had been cut by a wooden spike - they had all been stabbed in the hand or other parts of the body by spikes on the ground.

It's just that one or two of his subordinates were stabbed by spikes on the ground, and Tsuyoko Yokota can still deal with it, but now half of his subordinates have such a thing, and Tsuyoko Yokota knows that this matter will not be so simple. Carefully took the so-called wooden thorn handed over by his daredevils, Yokota Gango leaned under his nose and sniffed it, the faint smell of blood obviously had a trace of fishy smell, and Yokota Gangfu, who smelled the fishy smell from the smell of blood, was shocked, the so-called wooden thorn was obviously smeared with snake venom.

The sudden explosion of "boom" interrupted Yokota's thinking, a daredevils actually found one of his good fellow villagers among the dead bodies all over the ground, in order to give his fellow villagers a decent look, this very sympathetic daredevils accidentally triggered a trick set by the mercenaries when moving the corpse's stiff arms when sorting out the remains of the villagers. The fire that suddenly appeared in the night did not illuminate much of the place, but this was enough to expose the sneak attack of Tsuyoko Yokota on their trip, and Tsuyoko Yokota, who didn't have time to think about it, fell to the ground in a forward posture, and the wooden thorn handed over by his subordinates had already penetrated deeply into his palm.

"Tong" and "Tong" raised two flares one after another from the slope in front, and the light was illuminated within a radius of 100 meters below the slope, and the entire death squad was now within the range of the flares. Several tongues of fire pounced on a few daredevils who were dizzy and ran quickly, and the daredevils with explosives bags tied to their bodies were blasted in the air, and larger fireballs rose up the slope. The other daredevils who were affected by the fire either continued to play dead against the little sparks on their sides, or they ran towards the slope in front of them as if they were desperate, and then continued to be chased and killed by the opponent's machine gun fire chain at the bottom of the slope.

The fierce gunfire and the deafening roar of the explosion once again destroyed the Japanese army's sneak attack, and the Japanese army, who thought they were good at night fighting, encountered the thunderous mercenaries who lived by night fighting, and what awaited them was only defeat. The so-called ground thorn touched by the daredevils was deliberately arranged by the mercenaries after nightfall, and the wooden thorns were smeared with a kind of snake venom provided by the Burmese, and it is said that the person who fell for this snake venom would not survive for only 5 minutes, and if there was no antidote prepared by the Burmese, the person who was injured by the wooden stab would only have a way to die.

The closer the Japanese corpses got to the slopes, the mercenaries all set up tricks, their original intention was just to deal with the Japanese soldiers who came to collect the corpses at night, but no one expected that they would mistakenly hit the auxiliary car and expose themselves to the Japanese night attack death squad. With the help of flares suspended in mid-air, the machine gun fire of the mercenaries began to extend, and all the corpses of the Japanese soldiers within 200 meters of the slope were strafed by the rain of bullets in turn.

"The little devil of the dog day still dares to play night attack with Lao Tzu and me, I really don't know whether to live or die, if it weren't for Mr. Order, I only need to drag you, Lao Tzu would have gone to attack you at night a long time ago" Yan Wudao, who was standing on the hillside, looked at the gunfire under the slope with anger and scolded. The Japanese army behaved strangely during the day, but I didn't expect these guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead to really dare to attack at night, but the result of the Japanese army's night attack made Yan Wudao laugh.
